In the year 2023, there is no money, no middle-class, no justice, and no hope. Food is the only commodity in a world divided into two social classes: the affluent elite, who live in the domed cities; and the tattered poor, who inherit the unwanted wastelands. In the middle of the injustice steps a massive man intent on giving the establishment an ass whooping and the poor a piece of the pie. The legend of Nash spreads hope outside the domes and fear into the heart of Cyruss Storm. Storm, the self-proclaimed leader of the World Food Distribution Corp., a.k.a. the WFDC, controls the world's food supply and thereby controls the world. Nash, the only man with the balls to stand up to Cyruss and the WFDC, has his own ideas of social change and a new world order. An exhilarating, action-packed, balls-to-the-wall thrillride full of plot twists, betrayals, big guns, and lots of scintillating babes.

Only the efforts of the world's greatest heroes managed to hold back the all- consuming archessence... "The Wrath." Held back, but not destroyed. The Wrath would return again ‹ it was both immortal and patient ‹ when the heroes of the era were dead and gone. Thus, the Legacy was created. Crafted by the heroes to endow their gifts and abilities to the next generation... to be used when the Wrath appeared again, in hopes that they may yet save the world from the archessence, and that one of these generations may find a way to destroy or banish the archessence forever. And so the struggle between the archessence and the heirs of the Legacy continued through the ages until this generation ‹ Joe and Vicky, the Dumar twins ‹ find themselves suddenly thrust into the ageless battle against the Wrath when they discover they are the heirs of the "Fighter's Legacy!"

Instead, it was attacked as a Star Wars rip-off and canceled after a mere 17 stories. The author acknowledges the show was full of dramatic clichés and scientific inaccuracies, but despite these shortcomings, Battlestar Galactica was a dramatically resonant series full of unique and individual characters, such as Commander Adama (Lorne Greene) and ace warrior Captain Apollo (Richard Hatch). The author contends that Battlestar Galactica was a memorable attempt to make science fiction accessible to mainstream television audiences. The brilliant work of artist John Dykstra brought a new world of special effects to network television. Battlestar Galactica also skillfully exploited legends and names from both the Bible and ancient mythology, which added a layer of depth and maturity to the weekly drama.

(8172) Sampler PI COMICARE TREASURY SIZE PE BAGS The people have triumphed again! In a stunning show of hands, fans have shown the publishers just how crazy they are for the huge tomes of yesteryear. You remember those big books that we used to mail order like crazy when we were kids. We were crazy for movie adaptations of Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and 2001. The recent surge in nostalgia has made many retailers unearth these beauties, and now publishers are back to printing these colossal comics, as we¹ve recently seen with Superman: Peace On Earth and Superman-Fantastic Four. Fortunately, ComiCare has released 3 mil. 10 1/4² x 13 3/4² polyethelyne bags that fit the old and new treasury editions alike. It¹s about time, eh? Get Œem while they¹re hot, or be left out in the cold!
